Bernie says Walmart resistance to raising minimum wage is 'grotesque,' slams Walton family
Sen. Bernie Sanders in an interview Tuesday slammed mega-retailer Walmart’s resistance to raising its workers minimum wage to $15 per hour as “grotesque” and “absurd.”
Bernie vs. Warren: Biden’s strategy may be a winner as Sanders and Warren crowd each other out of Democratic primary Minimum wage on the campaign trailThe push for a $15 minimum wage has gained momentum during the current campaign. “The American people are very tired of grotesque levels of income inequality,” Sanders said. “You have a situation where the CEO – forget the Walton family – of Walmart makes about 1,000 times the average worker. And really that’s not what America should be about.”
